ONCC FreeTake® Program

Get Started

Enroll in the ONCC FreeTake® Program and your nurses can take an oncology certification test up to two times, and you only pay when they pass. ONCC FreeTake® can be used for all ONCC examinations (OCN®, AOCNP®, CBCN®, CPHON®, BMTCN®).

Here’s how it works:

1.  Your organization applies to participate in ONCC FreeTake
2.  You agree to provide at least 5 ONCC test candidates during a 12-month agreement period.
3.  You distribute special codes to eligible staff to apply online. (This allows nurses to apply without payment.)
4.  The nurse applies and takes the test. If the nurse passes, you are invoiced for the test fee. If the nurse doesn’t pass, they can apply to retake the test one time within 6 months.
5.  If the nurse passes on the second attempt, you pay the test fee. If the nurse doesn’t pass, you don’t pay (and neither does the nurse).

Enjoy the Benefits of ONCC FreeTake®:

• Decrease nurses’ test anxiety – nurses can retake the test one time for free
• Remove the financial burden of paying a test fee up front – your organization is invoiced only if the nurse passes.
• Eliminate cumbersome accounting processes for reimbursing individual nurses after they pass a test. 

Note: ONCC FreeTake is an organizational program created to help employers support certification of their staff. It reduces two common barriers to certification experienced by nurses: fear of failure and payment of the test fee. Because this is an organizational program, ONCC will only bill the participating organization for test fees. Organizations that will require nurses to pay the test fee to their organization, either before or after testing, should not apply to participate.
